Madonna and Child with St Ignatius of Antioch and St Onophrius
by LOTTO, Lorenzo, Oil on wood, 53 x 67 cm
In the Madonna and Child with St Ignatius of Antioch and St Onophrius, 1508, the young Lorenzo Lotto is influenced by D�rer, who when in Venice in 1506 had painted sacred paintings of great chromatic intensity and asymmetrical composition. Lotto’s wild St Onophrius is based on the man with the long beard in D�rer’s Christ among the Doctors (now in Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid).
